COVID19 patient spent 6 days walking on the ventilator, 8 days proned, then 4 days standing and working on walking until extubated. He got himself into his car to go straight home 10 days later today. He shut the door without looking back. I don't think we'll see him again. :)

[Kali Dayton @DaytonKali]

Wonderful article with contributions from insightful experts. The public should know what life after the ICU is like. Do we understand this from inside the ICU?

[Shunichi Nakagawa @snakagawa_md]

What we need to know from patient/family is

1) what makes their life meaningful
2) what is most important
3) what they are most worried about

As long as we know these, we can make a recommendation (give a guidance).

I wrote a paper about this, which will be out soon.

New report from @ICNARC (Tnx @smitheimearm ) 38.3% of patients d/c from ICU require assistance with ADLs #COVID2019 #investinrehab https://t.co/HIulDiu9v4

[Penelope Firshman @PenelopeFirshma]

Just to say for any critical care OTs our there.. there is a Facebook page Covid4CCOT to share knowledge, facts and experience. It’s more specific than the Covid4OT page
